A network attack or security breach is defined as a threat, intrusion, and denial of service or other attack on a network

infrastructure that will analyse your network and gain information to eventually cause your network to crash or to become

corrupted. Unmonitored network devices are the main source of information leakage in organisations. If the attacker is able

to $$own$$ your network devices, then they $$own$$ your entire network. Network attacks cut across all categories of software

and platform type.

Discuss five $(5)$ types of network attacks and provide the counter measure that an organisation may take to mitigate these

risks.
